Congratulations, Aaron McEneff

[Jambo92]

Hes been good in the last two sub appearances, feel like he's been hard done by since he's come in and hope he gets a fair crack at it.

Nice goal, I definitely think a fit and upto speed haring will help the whole team... But especially with players like McEneff who will get a bit more freedom to look forward.

If today is to be judged Haring needs to GTF. Was a bombscare today. McEneff did well.

So he’s a bigot then?

[Toronto Jambo]

He really deserves a run of games. I think he has goals in him, if we can play a style that lets him get forward and into dangerous areas.

[Kirky Jambo]

Still holding out hope for Aaron. He looks like he just needs a bit of confidence. 
 

Would like to see him get a run of games, Haring and Halliday can’t pass the ball to save themselves so think he would do better with the likes of Walker and Baningime around him

In about half an hour of sub appearances he's hit the post from about 25yards and scored against Celtic. Has to start next game

Deja Vu from after exactly the same inference by you the other day laughing at a foreign players name. Then you called @Barackan internet bully for calling you out on it and saying to @BackOfTheNet what youve said here about me. Terrible line to pull out claimimg its moaning because you dare to be negative about Hearts. If you want to do that bash on. Thats part of what the forums about. Its not about xenophobic posts. If you don’t want called on them dont post them.

What a load of tosh

 

im allowed to have an opinion that we signed too many Irish / northern Irish players ever since Austin McCann arrived.  Perfectly entitled to my opinion.

 

calling other people names like you have is bullying so please refrain from doing so going forward

There’s no place for him in Robbie’s version of 3-4-3, for the same reason there is no place for him in Robbie’s version of 4-2-3-1.

Sorry but that is bizarre stuff. How’s he been hard done by? Came in and started 12 consecutive games including Brora. This season he’s not started off as first pick but It’s called competition for places. That’s how it works at a bigger club. You compete for a place in the team and bide your time, take your chance. In the less important LC groups Pollock got his chance, then we’ve signed Beni so opted for the more experienced midfielders alongside him to start with. We’ve played just 2 league games. 
 

I think there’s a chance we might see McEneff-Beni against Aberdeen. Bit would be a bold shout given their lack of league experience but it might happen if they look in good form.

I agree. Looking forward to seeing him in tandem with Devlin and Beni.

Yeah i agree , i think he offers the box to box role but without a platform hes never going to succeed. Beni and Devlin hopefully give him that. I love Haring have since his debut at Cove but hes hit and miss still 😞 

[The Treasurer]

As Maceneff is naturally more attacking than either Haring or Halliday he must be in the frame to start the next game as we should be looking to be on the front foot

Why even have an opinion on this?  What constitutes "too many Irish/Northern Irish" players? Why is that a bad thing?   I'm interested to know the exact reason why you don't like players from those countries playing for Hearts, if you have an opinion on it, you must have a reason. 

 

I don't give a **** about where people are from, as long as they're good enough to do a shift in a Hearts shirt.

I agree with you. If you want to get the best out of players you have to use them properly. It is the same as Halliday, he isn't the sort of midfield player who can or will turn defence into attack. I'd prefer to see us play with a flat back 4 with Halliday the spare man sitting in from of them, just to break up attacks when needed and then give the ball to a better player going forward.

I think he was one of our better players the tail end of last season and come back and he's had very little game time in pre season despite us not recruiting anyone in Centre mid until day before first game of season.  Completely agree on all your points, I remember from Robbie's first spell their was always some odd looking and brash decisions made over summer breaks, giving Ozturk captaincy then binning him, finding goal scoring striker in Juanma then looking to sell ASAP so I personally hope he gets his chance this season, can tell he is a good player with a eye for goal which will be crucial especially in our home games - Beni, Haring and Halliday won't provide too much creativity/goals I wouldn't think.

I agree in a general sense but during most of those 12 games it was clear Robbie wanted the central midfield to stay deep, it was around the same time the full backs stopped going past the half way line. Only when we switched to a 3-5-2 formation towards the end of the season did McEneff appear to be given license to push forward and he done very well. He is in the same boat with the current preferred formation of 3-4-3, the attacking plan is to push the ball wide to our wingers. There isn't really a place for an attacking centre mid the way RN likes us to play.

I think you are overstating the control Robbie has over what a player does. You’re implying that he spent those first 5-10 games because he wasn’t “given licence” I saw something completely different to you. Robbies not got a PlayStation controller controlling what he was doing. I saw a player who had just arrived, trying to take care not to make silly mistakes and get caught in possession, not fully confident yet. A player finding his feet. He played right mid a 3 or 4 games as well, fans don’t realise why that would happen. It was to get him on the pitch and finding his feet in a Hearts shirt, while also managing Andy Irving. But actually, the moment you’re pointing to, was the moment Neilson made the decision to launch Irving from the team. That’s when mceneff started picking himself up and influencing games as it became clear it was Irving out, him in. Agree that the season just ended too early for him, another 10 games and he would’ve been flying I reckon. But as for the start of this season I’m not having anyone saying he’s hard done by, he’s had to bide his time a bit with the changes to the squad and youth getting a chance in the LC groups, but he will be a big player for us. 
 

And I don’t believe there’s no place for him in a 3-4-3. It depends hugely who we are playing against. But I definitely see a place for him in the 2. I could see him alongside Beni no problem. You talk about him as an “attacking mid” He’s not some sap who can’t run like Walker or Malaury Martin. He has got a strong engine and legs, well capable of getting back if there’s an opposition counter attack. In games we are looking to dominate we can definitely play him + Beni and RN will do so. Right now it’s just about the start to the season so the guys with more experience Halliday, Haring have got most minutes. But I expect that pendulum to swing the way of Mceneff, Beni, and Devlin over the season.

I don't think he has been hard done by. It's a long season and he'll get his chance. No real need for the playstation chat as the last console I had was a ZX Spectrum 😀. No doubt some of his early performances were down to settling in but I stand by what I think. RN when playing with two wingers prefers two deep lying midfielders and we won't see the best of McEneff when he's one of them. Does have a good engine and can definitely play box to box so maybe there is a place for him in the current system, as you said it's very early in the season but I personally doubt it.

I only discovered that recently when i looked at the profile following one of their posts which was a tad emmm whats the word….🤷🏻‍♂️ about Beni…..

I said this on another thread but I think McEneff will be Smith long term replacement at RWB and we may see him play there this season. Especially if the lad woodburn comes in.

Definitely a player in McEneff, I would also like to see him play from the start alongside Beni. Haring has been a bit hit or miss in the first few games.
